There were no British players winning Go Golds at this year's Mind
Sports Olympiad. The event was held at the Soho Theatre in the
centre of London and had restricted space, meaning less events than normal.

Six players played the
13x13 on the Friday afternoon, with Gold going to
Spain's Paco Garcia de la Banda (3 dan). Silver went to Xinyi Lu (4 kyu)
and silver to Vincent Frochot (8 kyu) from France. In the 12-player
Open on the final Sunday, the Gold was won by Turkish 1 dan, Bulent Tuncel.
Silver went to Paco and Bronze on tie-break to Alistair Wall (3 dan).
Go players took part in other games too, throught the event, with some
awards, such as Natasha Regan's Silver at Hare and Tortoise
and Matthew Hathrell's Golds at Lost Cities, Continuo and Poker.
